regret that your correspondent reports
the cowardly assassination Of William
Elrod, which occurred on the night Of

miles west OF this place, on Mr.. ]. N.

connected with the foul deed are a.
follows: Two months ago Elrod
eloped with William Kslly's daughter,
Sarah Kelly, and came to this place
between the hours Of l and 2 O'Clock
at,night,swoks the mayor Of our village,
L. d. Brewer, who united them In mar
rage. The father Of Sarah Kelly be-
came very much eDraged at the &C.
ton OF Elrod and made threats az TO
what hs would do. Elrod retallated
in the same manner. A writ was
sworn out by Kelly about three weeks
ago, charging Eirod with threatening
his lite. Erod was arrested and gsvlD'
bond for trial. Before thegdsy Of trial
Kelly withdrew his charges and the
matter was adjusted without trial.
Afterward Johu Ray, q man who
seems to be connected with the cause,
had a writ issued for the ares, OF FL
rod, which was alec settled in the
same manner q, the first. LAST night
Elrod was shot through the heart
while In bed asleep. His wife claims
to know nothing Of the killing. and
was in bed with him when be Wa
killed. She claims be was killed ai
abou. 4:30 o'clock an, and she gavs
